With a Graduate Degree, You Can Expand Your Athletic Job Field

The field of play grows significantly when you advance to graduate studies in health and physical education. Your academic credentials increase your pay scale, and your career choices expand to more arenas, such as management of sport programs, corporate
fitness facilities, and sports medicine.

It should come as no surprise that athletics is a big business as well as an obsession for millions. This is good for your career. All forms of team sports—secondary schools, colleges, professional teams—need your skills. Health care organizations will
also be interested to meet with you. Fitness is life, both personal and professional. Seize the day.

MS in Sport Science

These competitive environments are hungry for leadership and innovation. Gain access to jobs managing athletic enterprises, franchises, or corporate and community fitness facilities. You may also venture into hospital- and community-based exercise or
recreational programs.

This program is ideal if you are now a certified health and physical education teacher. It’s also great if you are an educator who is certified in another academic discipline and want to add health and physical education to your resume. This degree is
also well suited if you have a related non-teaching degree and want to become a certified health and physical education teacher.
